Denon DVD-2910 audio connection question

[PSU80]

I plan on using the 2910 with a Yamaha RX-V2400. I assume I should use a digital connection for DVD playback. Is there a preference with respect to digital coax vs. optical?

For music I will be using primairily CDs while beginning to add DVD-A and SACD to my collection. Do I need to use both the 2 channel analog outs and the multi-channels or just the multi-channels?

I prefer the digital coax simply because I have two semi-spastic cats that crawl all over my stuff, and it seems the coax is somewhat more tolerant of man-handling (or, in my case, cat-handling).

As far as the SACD/DVD-A stuff goes, I use 6 cables for the analog 5.1 outputs and the digital coax for the rest (CDs, movies, and burned discs). I suppose I could hook up the 2 channel stuff and run it into the cd inputs, but I never felt the need-the coax hookup is pretty tasty as is.

Bryan...but I'm told I'm not that picky...

The way I connected my 3910 is I'm using the multichannel out for SACD/DVD-AUDIO and optical for everything else.

I just ordered the Denon 1910 DVD Player, I just got a Hitachi 57T500 HDTV. I tryed to connect my old Mit. DD-1000 dvd player, to my Denon 684 A/V Receiver, I got the Picture to show on the TV but no sound, the old player has PCM/AC-3 Digital coax connection and the Denon had something I thought was the same, it says DVD/VDP connections and a Coax plug-in with them,. I did get the DVD Player to work connected to the TV in analog sound it sounded like crap tho.
Well anyway am I going to have the same problem with the New Denon DVD Player? There is no one within 40 miles to get to come to our house to set this stuff up and they want 100$ just to come here then so much per hour to connect it, and they don't garentee it will be correct. lol
The stupid HDTV dosen't even tell how to connect the A/V receiver to it, I couldn't believe that...

your new 1910 should have an optical out which will carry the DD, DTS signals into the AV receiver.

Since you've got 2 optical and one coax digital input, you *should* be able to run a digital line from the 1910 to the 684...but you may have to assign the specific input for that source through the receiver's setup menu (i.e., dvd player to COAX1, or OPT1, or whichever you used). You might have to do something similar in the 1910 setup menu, too; I'm not sure how much it is like its bigger brothers.

Bryan...spent a little time with my setup menus...

The Denon receiver is new also I haven't learned it very well, I figured I was doing something wrong if the Picture worked and the sound didn't. It was the only Receiver that was close to the out-put of my old Mitsubshi MVR-800 receiver, I didn't want to pay 2500 for new speakers, It would probably be alot more than that to equal the speakers I got with the MVR-800 back in 97. I will need someone to set everything up once the TV is broke in, I was told at least a 100 hours, And the HD Satellite guy will be here Thursday maybe he can help too. '
Thanks Guys..... I ordered a Optic cable too (dam they cost alot) I will need another for the Satellite Box too I guess... The wife is going to casterate me...lol
